For one evening, the church will host a large screen showing a silent film accompanied by live organ improvisation with Paul Goussot, in the magnificently baroque setting of Saint-Sauveur church.
Lady Windermere's Fan (1925) is a silent film directed by Ernst Lubitsch, adapted from a play by Oscar Wilde. It tells the story of a worldly intrigue of secrets, misunderstandings and reputation in London's high society. Lady Windermere suspects her husband of infidelity with a mysterious woman with a scandalous past. Lubitsch develops his famous "Lubitsch touch", blending elegance, subtle humor and social criticism.
The film explores themes of moral judgment, appearances and sacrifice.
The "Organ and Silent Cinema" evenings are divided into two parts:
-8:30 pm: Discussion of the place of the church in the film and the history of organ improvisation in cinema.
-9 p.m. Screening of the film
The Cinéma de Beaulieu and the association AUTOUR DE, its technical partner for all the film evenings, were present and available.
